Best Canadian Stocks To Watch For 2019

I have sold my shares in my business as part of my plan to retire at 55. I now have to rely on investments alone for income. Selling a business generates money upfront, but then what? I had taken over my own investments from mutual funds in 2009, and I guess that made me lucky rather than good. Since the crash of oil, investing has been a lot less fun and a lot less profitable.

Sometimes, I would just sit and wonder why a company that I thought was valuable suddenly went down in price over 20% and some even 40%. While I lived through the crisis in 2009 and everyone lost money, I could not understand why all of a sudden prices would drop.

Like most investors, I understand up and down; but -20% or -40% – something is wrong. Of course, this happened during the oil crash when the entire Canadian market sank, and oil dropped to $27 in February 2016. When you are close to retirement, 20%, and especially 40%, seems unrecoverable.

Not all of my investments did poorly, but overall my portfolio shrank 15% in 2015. I was discouraged and wondered why I owned equities. I felt that there must be a better way.

ConocoPhillips’ (NYSE:COP) management team has worked tirelessly in recent years to transform the oil company into one that could thrive on lower prices.

Oil prices have been on fire over the past year and recently topped $70 a barrel, which is the highest crude has been since late 2014. That rally in the oil market has helped fuel big-time gains in many oil stocks. Three that stand out are Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC), Hess (NYSE:HES), and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) because each has risen more than 20% this year. They might still have additional upside from here given that all three plan on spending billions of dollars to buy back more of their stock.
